  • Desktop/Laptop Computers - Mac, Windows, or Linux
  • Tablets - iPad, Android tablets, or other tablets
  • Smartphones - iPhone (iOS 12+) or Android (version 8+)
✦ Tip: For the best experience, we recommend using a tablet or computer with a larger screen. It makes it easier for your child to see the Tooth Fairy clearly and feel more immersed in the magic!

Browsers

The call works directly in your web browser - no app download needed! Supported browsers include:

  • Safari (on Mac or iPhone/iPad - version 14 or newer)
  • Microsoft Edge (version 90 or newer)

Internet Connection

A stable internet connection is important for a smooth video call:

  • Recommended: 10 Mbps or higher for best quality
  • Wi-Fi or Cellular: Both work, but Wi-Fi is more reliable
✦ Not sure about your internet speed? You can test it at fast.com before the call.

Camera & Microphone Permissions

When you click your call link, your browser will ask for permission to use your camera and microphone. Here's what to do:

  1. Click your unique call link
  2. Look for a popup or message bar asking for permissions
  3. Click "Allow" or "Yes"
  4. If you accidentally clicked "Block," don't worry! Instructions below explain how to fix it.

Before the Call

Age Recommendations

Call Tooth Fairy Tonight is designed for children ages 4 to 8 years old. This is the sweet spot where kids:

  • Believe in the Tooth Fairy and the magic of losing a tooth
  • Can hold a simple conversation
  • Will be excited (but not overwhelmed) by the experience
✦ Younger Children (4-5): May need more help and encouragement from you during the call. Sit close by and help them if they get shy!

Building Excitement

Here are some ways to prepare your child and build anticipation:

  • Tell them ahead of time: "The Tooth Fairy is going to call you about your lost tooth!"
  • Make it special: Let them wear their favorite pajamas and have their lost tooth ready to show
  • Create a cozy setting: Dim the lights and make it feel like a magical bedtime moment
  • Prepare questions: Help them think of things to ask the Tooth Fairy (see below)

Preparing Questions & Talking Points

It helps to have a few topics ready in case your child gets shy. Here are some ideas:

  • "Where do all the teeth go after you collect them?"
  • "How do you fly into everyone's house?"
  • "What do you do with the teeth you gather?"
  • "How can I keep my grown-up teeth healthy?"
  • "Can you tell me about my wiggly tooth?" (The Tooth Fairy will mention the details you shared!)

Managing Expectations

To ensure the magic stays magical:

  • Keep it realistic: Explain that the Tooth Fairy is very busy, so the call will be short (5 or 10 minutes)
  • Avoid overpromising: Don't guarantee the Tooth Fairy will mention specific things unless you included them in the personalization form
  • Embrace the wonder: If your child asks how the Tooth Fairy has time to call, tell them she has special magical technology!

During the Call

Parental Presence (Important!)

For safety and to enhance the experience, we require:

  • Parents must initiate the call by clicking the link and granting camera/microphone permissions
  • Stay nearby during the call, especially for younger children (ages 4-6)
  • Be ready to help if your child gets shy, tongue-tied, or needs encouragement
✦ Safety First: Never leave young children alone during the video call. Your presence ensures a safe, comfortable experience.

Encouraging Interaction

If your child is nervous or quiet, try these tips:

  • Start simple: Encourage them to say "Hi, Tooth Fairy!" and wave
  • Prompt gently: "Why don't you show the Tooth Fairy your lost tooth?"
  • Join in: It's okay for you to talk to the Tooth Fairy too! She loves chatting with parents
  • Don't force it: Some kids are shy - that's okay! Just listening to the Tooth Fairy is magical too

Handling Technical Issues Mid-Call

If something goes wrong during the call:

  • Frozen video? Wait 5-10 seconds - it usually reconnects automatically
  • Can't hear the Tooth Fairy? Check your device volume or unmute your speakers
  • The Tooth Fairy can't hear you? Check that your microphone isn't muted
  • Call disconnected? Just click your link again to reconnect (as long as you haven't used your full time)

  • Tuck the tooth away: Place the lost tooth under the pillow for the Tooth Fairy to collect
  • Share the excitement: Let them tell grandparents or friends about their special call
  • Build good habits: Remind them of the Tooth Fairy's tip to brush morning and night!

  • Secure Connection: All calls use encrypted connections to protect your privacy
  • AI-Powered: The Tooth Fairy is brought to life by advanced AI technology - there are no strangers or actors involved

  • Report issues - if anything seems wrong or inappropriate, contact us immediately

Frequently Asked Questions

When should we do the call?

Your call link works anytime! Many families choose:

  • Right after the tooth comes out: To celebrate the moment while it's fresh
  • At bedtime: Before tucking the tooth under the pillow
  • The next morning: As a happy surprise after the Tooth Fairy's visit

Can we use the link more than once?

Each call link is for one-time use with the duration you purchased (5 or 10 minutes). Once the session ends or time runs out, the link expires. Want multiple calls? You can purchase additional sessions!

Can multiple children join the same call?

Absolutely! If you have multiple children, they can take turns talking to the Tooth Fairy during the same call. Just make sure to include all their names and details in the personalization form when you book.

Does the Tooth Fairy speak other languages?

Currently, the Tooth Fairy speaks English only. We're working on bringing the magic to more languages in the future!

What if my child gets scared or wants to end the call?

It's totally okay! Some children might feel overwhelmed - that's normal. You can:

  • Sit with them and help them feel comfortable
  • End the call anytime by closing the browser tab
  • Try again later if they change their mind (within your session time)
✦ Remember: Every child is different. Some will chat the Tooth Fairy's ear off, others might just want to wave and listen. Both are perfectly magical experiences!

What if I have technical problems and can't complete the call?

If you experience technical issues that prevent you from using your call within the 24-hour refund window, please contact us at [email protected]. We'll work with you to resolve the issue or provide a refund.

Final Tips for Success

  • Test your setup a few minutes before the call (camera, mic, internet)
  • Have the room well-lit so the Tooth Fairy can see your child clearly
  • Minimize background noise for better audio quality
  • Keep devices charged or plugged in during the call
  • Relax and have fun! The magic happens when you let go and enjoy the moment
